The ethics behind its development drive it with a passion for security. It's very easy to select servers, blacklist the ones you don't like or consolidate the ones you do like into a group of "favourites". The network lock is a boon and works faultlessly in Linux, as does the install. It probably isn't the best VPN for someone who has little or no knowledge of how the whole VPN system works, but it's certainly the one users should come to after riding the learning curve. The only downside,( and it isn't really a downside, but could be a deal breaker for some folks ), is that the GUI is a bit old-hat and needs a refreshing make-over.

I have been using AIRvpn the last 3-4 years now and i must say i'm really comfortable with them. I'm using the vpn as a extra firewall against any potential threat on the internet, and They do deliver on that part. Along with the no logs policy it's a really good alternative if safety and integrity is your main concern. On the slightly less good side i noticed a big drop in internet speeds. I'm currently running a 500/500 internet but speedtest using the server with the best ping shows only 163 Mbit down and 310 Mbit up, So that is a bit of a concern. Also, it sadly doesn't work with Netflix. The eddie program is pretty easy to use and if you have any problems or questions a visit to their forum page usually help you. I'm giving it 4 stars due to the slower internet speeds but other then that it's a really nice open source vpn who actually do care about their customers privacy.

I've tried out a few VPN services, some small names, some large, & find AirVPN a nice compromise. I am a very heavy user, & consistently max out my home connection (~80Mbit) with AirVPN on the UK & European servers. The client they developed 'Eddie' is stable, you get the choice of lots of protocols/ports with no activity restrictions on any servers, & I like how they are completely transparent with their server loading data published on the website, allowing you to check ping times etc before you even sign up!

Installing AirVPN is a simple task on desktop as well as mobile.
For desktop, you get the client straight from AirVPN’s website. All you need to do is run the .exe, select a destination folder, and you’re set.
The VPN client is automatically configured, connecting you to a recommended server with the lowest latency. Of course, you also can connect to any available server of your choosing with the Servers and Countries tabs.
Mobile functionality is slightly different — AirVPN currently doesn’t have a dedicated client, but the company recommends using OpenVPN, OpenVPN Client, and OpenVPN Connect for Android. The latter is also your sole option if you’re on iOS.
We find that AirVPN’s client is clean and intuitive. However, if you have any questions, you can rely on customer support to help you out. Alternatively, you can check AirVPN’s forums for similar inquiries and solutions.

AirVPN offers five pricing plans aimed at both short- and long-term usage: Three days, one month, three months, six months, one year.
AirVPN does NOT have a refund policy, and you can’t cancel your subscription prematurely. Therefore, we recommend opting for a three-day plan to start out and see if this VPN is the one for you.
You can pay for AirVPN with any standard credit card (VISA, MasterCard, American Express). Other available payment methods include PayPal, Bitcoin, and gift vouchers.
When contacting AirVPN, you get an automated message letting you know that your email/ticket is submitted. In our experience, response times varied between 6 and 7 hours. While this was a bit on the slow side, the answers were thorough and satisfactory.
Other sources of information include an FAQ section and official forum.

AirVPN may not be the flashiest VPN on the market and it may fall short in some areas, but it’s confident in its abilities. It also offers great value with its extensive focus on security, no-logs policy, and variety of protocols. It also puts heavy work in the background by developing, funding, and otherwise participating in multiple projects aimed at making the Internet a better place for users.
Between Net Neutrality and the increasing restrictions on web content, AirVPN is a provider dedicated to fighting the good fight. We salute all such efforts — and while you might not be able to get around certain geoblocks (e.g. Netflix), you will have access to virtually anything else, including content behind the Great Firewall of China.
In short, if you’re looking for a solid all-around virtual private network, you’ve found it in AirVPN.

AirVPN is the definition of a compact and capable VPN. Coupled with the company’s inexorable pro-privacy stance and its involvement in multiple projects (Mirrors, Tor Project, IPLeak, among others), AirVPN isn’t just a stellar open source product — it makes a statement as well.
AirVPN prefers a clean, simplistic approach to interface. Its client, which surprisingly has a name of its own, is as straightforward as they get. Eddie, the VPN client, is easy to navigate and a breeze to configure — that is if you care to move away from the automatic configuration. You can connect to any server you desire in a matter of seconds, and even load your own configuration if you feel like giving Eddie a break. Outside of that, the client remains rather basic.
What’s not basic is AirVPN’s privacy and anonymity features. A strict no-logs policy ensures no data is collected or stored, and killswitch functionality is included for when the connection drops abruptly. In short, AirVPN guarantees that you remain hidden always.
AirVPN only supports OpenVPN. While we would like to see other protocols, because they can come in handy sometimes in certain situations, OpenVPN is the protocol we recommend the most.
What’s more, every server has additional connection types, such as OpenVPN over SSH, SSL, and Tor — so if your ISP/country is fiddling with OpenVPN, it will hardly stop you from going about your business.
When it comes to servers, AirVPN boasts 219 in 20 countries. The connection isn’t hindered too much, either — we detected no signs of data throttling, and speed tests revealed normal drops with optimal server choices. Your mileage may vary, mainly depending on server load and location, but unlimited bandwidth at a minimum of 4Mbps is guaranteed by the provider.
As far as content unblocking goes, AirVPN has no issues with accessing BBC iPlayer and Hulu. It will also effortlessly jump over the Great Firewall of China — however, Netflix is off-limits for now, as confirmed to us by customer support.
Speaking of customer support, it’s one area where AirVPN can improve. At several hours (6 to 7 in our experience), response times leave something to be desired, and contact platforms are rather limited — there’s email, a ticket system, and social media, but no phones or live chat. We should mention that the answers to our questions were in-depth and very helpful, albeit slightly delayed.
What AirVPN lacks in customer support, it makes up with its great forums. We were impressed by this active, tight-knit community full of helpful topics and advice. While it’s no substitute for actual customer support, it’s still a good way to find an answer to your questions as you wait for an official response.
Another aspect where AirVPN could improve is its refund policy. They have a 3-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. Their Terms of Service states that if you violate their Terms of Service or if you send the request after using AirVPN for more than three days or exceed 5 GB, you forfeit your right to get a refund. However, they also state give a reimbursement within 30 days of your request.
Moreover, once you subscribe, you must ride it out. Long subscriptions can quickly become unfavorable for users, and the lack of solutions in such an event is a considerable drawback.
Despite these shortcomings, AirVPN is one of the better all-around VPNs. Thanks to a mix of stable servers, immaculate privacy features, and reasonable pricing, it’s a solid choice that will keep you safe on the Internet.
